Three nucleotides that together specify one aminoacid?
Codon
What codon sequence does DNA use?
There are 64 different codons. Refer to the related link for a table of DNA codons.
How many codons are in aaaugcucguaa?
There are four codons in AAA UGC UCG UAA. A codon is a sequence made of three nitrogenous bases. Codons have particular features, making it possible for them to be start codons, stop codons, introns, or exons.
What do you mean by stop codons?
a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.Three codons UAG,UAA & UGA are the stop codons, which denotes the end of the protien.
On what structure is the codon found?
A codon consists out of a 3 nucleotid long DNA piece. That 3 nucleotids code for an amino acid.
What happens next after the ribosome reaches the start codon?
tRNA molecules attach to codons.-apex
What is an initiator codon?
Initating codons- the small ribosomal subunit, the mRNA bonded to it, and the initator tRNA with its attached methionine form the initation complex.
What is tRNA's function?
tRNAs are small RNA molecules that carry amino acids to growing polypeptide chains that are being made in a ribosome. The have anti-codons that are complimentary to the codons on the mRNA. They carry an amino acid that is specific to their anti-codon.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of he rna?
tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon
What is the initiator codon in most molecule of mRNA?
AUG
Three nucleotides that together specify one aminoacid?
Codon
What codon is the codon for the amino acid histidine?
The mRNA codons for histidine are CAU and CAC.
What meaning do the first and last codons have for protein synthesis?
Codons are used for making amino acids. Some codons will tell the ribosomes to start tell the tRNA to make the amino acids or to stop making amino acids. I like to think of the start/initiator/promoter codon(AUG) as a capital letter in a sentence and the stop/terminator codons(UAA, UAG, and UGA) as periods in a sentence.
What happens after the ribosome reaches the start codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.
How do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.
At the end of DNA what are the three codons called?
the stop codon
